CAMP GUERNSEY JOINT TRAINING CENTER, Wyoming – Anticipation heated up when soldiers from the Wyoming Army National Guard started reporting for the Best Warrior Competition at Camp Guernsey Joint Training Center, Wyo., on April 8, 2021. After months of training, planning and logistics, the time had come. Soldiers, support staff and sergeants major gathered together to begin the competition.
Normally, there are around 25 participants, but his time around, only seven came to compete. The BWC is not for the faint of heart. It tests you physically and mentally. Participants are tested on their knowledge of warrior tasks and drills, everything from weapons and combatives, to land navigation. Competitors go non-stop with little sleep, moving from one event to the next with barely a break in between.
Jessie Mei Li as Alina Starkov
The 25-year-old actress is not a full-blown celebrity yet, but she s on the cusp of becoming the next big sensation. She only has one on screen credit so far, a single episode of the series Banged Up Abroad but Shadow and Bone is expected to change all that. Mei Li, who has an English mother and a Chinese father, was raised in Surrey England. Acting may be her first love these days, but a close second is education. Jessie worked with neuro divergent children before she auditioned for a National Youth Theatre course and soon found herself starring along Gillian Anderson and Lily James in All About Eve . The young actor then went onto be cast as Alina Starkov in Shadow and Bone and we re sure in coming years they ll say, the rest is history.
